What Will You Scan?

This course will demonstrate how to use 3D printing software to create digital designs that can be turned into physical objects. It will also demonstrate how 3D scanners work to turn physical objects into digital designs. This course is hands-on in nature and will provide step-by-step instructions to guide you through two popular 3D modeling programs, Tinkercad and Fusion 360. Learners who complete this course will be able to use 3D software to design a wide variety of objects for both personal and professional use. In addition, learners who enroll in the course certificate will receive extended free access to Fusion 360 (provided by Autodesk).

This course introduced me to the different software tools that can be used for 3D Printing. I recommend this course, as well as this specialization, to anyone interested in 3D Printing.

Great course. I enjoyed learning new skills. I learned allot about 3D computer modeling. I applied what I learned at my job and created a number of tools and assembly fixtures.

Module 5: 3D Scanning

In this module we will cover different technologies for turning objects into 3d models. The devices we will demonstrate are the next engine 3d scanner, Microsoft Kinect, structure sensor, as well as any camera you have (including your phone).

[MUSIC] [SOUND] 3D scanning is an area of active research with new advances every year. New methods will emerge that produce even better results from cheaper hardware. At the end of this module, you should have a thorough understanding of what the capabilities of these different technologies are, those that are available to you as a hobbyist, a student, or a researcher at a university, or even as a professional. Your homework for this module will be to pick a 3D scanning strategy using whatever tools you have access to, and uploading the result to the internet so that your peers can view it. Whether that is using a camera phone, or it doesn't even have to be a camera phone. Any camera you have access to will allow you to use lenses with 3D catch or Agisoft PhotoScan. If you have an Xbox Kinect around then I would highly encourage you to look into the software to use that and get a scan of your friends, you can try your pets that's a good challenge to keep them sitting still long enough. Find an object that you want to try to create a 3D scan of. Maybe it's something that you want to make a copy of with your 3D printing skills. Maybe it's something that you want to make a digital copy of in the interest of preservation. After you have a scan, it's important to know how to export it. Part of the assignment will be exporting the results and uploading it to sketchfab.com where it will be viewed by your peers. My favorite part of being an assistant at our fab lab isn't showing people what I've learned but seeing what they choose to do with it. I look forward to seeing what you think of uploading, without a doubt, it will be something I hadn't thought of. [MUSIC] [SOUND]
